Revenue Sharing

If a work has multiple rightsholders, you can automatically share revenues with them. This applies to assets in Content ID, tracks or albums released through our music distribution service, and songs registered with our publishing administration service.

Prerequisites

To share revenue with other rights holders:

  • They must be a YourVid partner (have signed a license agreement with us)

  • They must be entitled to receive royalties (they actually hold the rights for which they receive a payment from us)

Set Up Revenue Sharing

To set up revenue sharing, email us with the following information:

  • Identifier of the work (YouTube Asset ID, ISRC, UPC, ISWC, or Composition ID)

  • Email address of the licensor that should receive a revenue share

  • % this rights holder owns

We will confirm the split with both you and the other licensors. For all payouts processed after confirmation, revenue sharing will be applied.

The licensor who delivered the work to us (primary licensor) will continue to see it in their dashboard and be able to make changes (such as changing metadata or releasing claims). The primary licensor's Payout Rate and other payment terms (including primary licensor's contract's definition of Royalties) will be used to determine other licensors' payouts, even if their terms are different.

Other licensors will see the work in their financial reports, not in their dashboard.

Understand Revenue Shares in Reports

All financial reports we provide have at least these two columns:

  • Payout Rate: This is the contractually agreed rate of Royalties that we pay out. This never changes, regardless how many payees there are. If a work has multiple payees, they all see the same Payout Rate.

  • Share: This is your share of payable royalties (Royalties * Payout Rate * Share). If you are the sole licensor, your share is 1. If there are multiple licensors, your share indicates which % of payable royalties you receive.

The primary licensor's Payout Rate and other payment terms are used as the Payout Rate for all other payees.
